2013 MINI First 1.6L Petrol · DA13 WCM

The 2013 MINI FIRST presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 September 2025 at 64,846 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of examinations. Prior passes on 3 October 2024 at 60,143 miles and 8 September 2022 at 49,355 miles also showed no advisories, indicating consistent mechanical condition across the recorded period. Mileage sits low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle at 64,846 recorded miles, averaging roughly 4,988 miles per year. The records show steady annual use rather than long dormancy: the car covered 5,212 miles between September 2022 and August 2023, then 5,576 miles to October 2024 and 4,703 miles to September 2025. A single anomaly appears on 29 August 2023 when the tester issued a fail at 54,567 miles with no defects listed, reversed by a pass the next day at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative or procedural error rather than a fault. The absence of advisories across all tests means no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion was flagged by DVLA examiners. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust, as MOT passes with no defects do not confirm absence of developing issues beneath reporting thresholds. The clean history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though low mileage warrants checking for degraded rubber components and binding calipers from intermittent use. Given the sparse but unbroken pass record, focus a viewing on tyre condition, wiper blades, and fluid levels rather than major mechanical risk. The 2023 same-mileage fail-pass pair warrants a DVSA history check to confirm no suppressed defect, but the trend itself shows no worsening pattern requiring caution.
